Can't wait to see what vids you come up with, Matt.

Before last year I personally believed that basketball games had a genre ceiling of about 3.5-4 million units sold regardless of how great the quality of the game was. The Jordan cover and modes proved me wrong, and I'm guessing that before its done, NBA 2K11 will go over 6 million units sold.

NBA 2K has found the magic formula of being able to appeal to the casual and the hardcore alike. Keeping all those new customers is the tricky part and will be their greatest challenge going forward. These covers are, of course, to that end.

For me, when Rob Jones says in a video clip that they had four producers working on gameplay alone this year, that assuages any possible worry I might theoretically have about ancillary modes being too great a focus.

Like every developer who has ever existed, VC will fall short in the implementation of some of their ideas, but I totally trust their design process.

I love the fact they are going even deeper with classic teams i just hope and pray they give us more detailed retro arenas or even the right no for the matter for the teams and the old school classic wramp ups for those teams would be sick....

I will start with hex as soon i get my hands on 2k12...........

Wow, throwback players again?? It was good for one year but, another year? What happened to the players of today, who are making a difference in the game of basketball. Looks nice, but slightly disappointed.

Its not liketheir leaving current teams off the game to fit the classic in.

Um, the players of today are still in the game.

What's up with gamers today who have no appreciation for what came before?

Some of you guys are missing where I'm coming from I don't care who's on the cover my comments where to
Ronnie calling it mind blowing I just felt he tried to over hype the cover to us
I like them too but it clearly shows how they are riding on Jordan stuff from 2k11 which
I thought was the bonus that put it over the top but my player is what we get the game for
